The aroma has cereal grains, grassy hops, leaves, and hay. The appearance is copper gold with a small head. The flavor is mildly bitter with plenty of malt. The palate is full. The aftertaste is slightly astringent. Not bad.

Being from pennsylvania i grew up on this stuff.Pours a nice golden color and has a great taste.This was one of the better beers but all the other micro brews have past them up.Penn Brewery is going to have to change and make other beers to keep up.At one time this brewery was light years ahead but has done nothing with making new quality beers.All the other micro brews are passing them up. ?????????

Clear amber appearance with a small head and scant lacing. Caramel malt aroma with some floral notes. Smooth, medium bodied, nicely carbonated mouthfeel. Fairly sweet, toasty malt taste balanced by a modest amount of hops. Slightly metallic aftertaste.

Clear copper to orange color with white head. Aroma of malt and a bit of noble hops. Nice malt flavor and I detect a grapefruit note as well both sweet and sour. Very nice Pilsner.

Bottle... Clear, light amber lager with a large, rocky, off-white head. Excellent, creamy retention. Herbal, earthy aroma with a hint of crisp citrus fruit. Malty, earthy flavor. Leans just a fragment on the sweet side of balance. Light carbonation. Malty, bittersweet finish. Not really brewed to style, but I see Ratebeer has this one categorized as a Vienna. I agree.

Sickly sweet, don’t expect a pilsner, other than the Saaz (description only says Hallertau?) hopping and carbonation. Pours an orangey-yellow color with some chill haze, lots of carbonation, but a short-lived head. Aroma was light grass, some cardboard, some bready aspects. The flavor was bread, sweet cookies, caramel, corn, and light grass. Mouthfeel was sickly sweet for a "pilsner," nothing dry at all about the finish, even with a significant level of carbonation. Too sweet to enjoy.

Amber pour with a light head. Flavor is fairly reminiscent of a Molson Canadian with a bit more balance and malt body. Sweetish character with malt goes nice and is a departure from what I expected in a Pils.

Bottle. Pours copper with a decent sized white head. Aroma of hops, caramel malts, and grass. Flavor is smooth, sweet, malty, carbonated, with a dry bitter hoppy finish. Good body, ok brew.
